School suggestion for HLP/DME kid with dyslexia

[Denka]

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations for secondry schools that are supportive of children with dyslexia. My daughter is HLP/DME and has dyslexia and we’re hoping to find a school in south west London that not only offers appropriate learning support, but also recognises and nurtures her strengths.
If you have had positive experiences with schools that understand and support dyslexic learners, I’d be so grateful if you could share them with me. I'm particularly looking for schools that:
-Respect individual learning profiles,
-Take educational psychology reports seriously,
-Offer tailored interventions and enrichment—not just remediation,
-Have staff with awareness and training around dyslexia
Feel free to comment or message me directly—any insight or suggestion would mean a lot. Thank you so much in advance!

You would have more answers in HLP Facebook groups…

I'm having a nightmare atm trying to get our school and the local authority to recognise my children's masked needs and to understand impact of unmet DME needs. The Ed Psycs didn't pick up a bunch of stuff, even though some of it was pointed out for them in my children's HLP assessment reports, that I shared as part of the Ed Psyc assessment.

From what I understand the tricky thing with DME is that the intersectionality of HLP and neurodivergence requires a nuanced approach to supporting the individual, and that what works for a HLP or a dyslexic child may not work for a dyslexic DME child. There are a few occupational therapists in the UK that took DME training with Potential Plus, the charity has a list of these.

Potential Plus have materials for parents and schools. I have found the parent support helpline to be invaluable as a font of knowledge and a source of validation when I'm faced with a system that hopes if it ignores me long enough I'll just go away!

I have found the PP parenting high potential fb group to be supportive and also a font of peer experience and knowledge.

Best wishes for your school search

No idea about London but there are two specialist private dyslexia schools in Gloucestershire and one in Wiltshire. Two are boarding. All have very good reputations.
I think I have a child with this. But it is very hard to get anyone to listen as multiple things going on and they just think she's not clever at all. It's only when you catch the odd thing in the middle of the crazy chatter you think - er what, how do you grasp that but not the word have or one?
Previous school destroyed her confidence so just working on that.
Any advice gratefully received.
